:03:10. > :03:15.it on, say opposition leaders. first minister has a mandate for
:03:15. > :03:19.this now. He has a majority in this Parliament. He has had a draft bill,
:03:19. > :03:24.or so he said. He has no credible excuse for not bringing VAT bill
:03:25. > :03:28.forward. They are always quick to complain about the powers they
:03:28. > :03:34.don't have, but struck dumb when it comes to answer about what they

:03:39. > :03:43.Ministers plan to tread that path later. The focus now, more powers
:03:43. > :03:48.to tackle the economy. Brian Taylor joins me now from
:03:48. > :03:51.Parliament. So we got confirmation of a single police force. Where
:03:51. > :03:56.does this go next? A ministerial statement of tomorrow which will
:03:56. > :04:02.set out more details, a case for change - he will rely heavily on
:04:02. > :04:06.the costs that he believes can be saved. Millions of pounds on buying

:04:10. > :04:17.There will be a consultation on the detail, but there is a deadline on
:04:17. > :04:21.this, and he is adamant this will happen.

:04:29. > :04:32.restructure has not taken place in theory, it is in the context of
:04:32. > :04:37.real policing. I would think as professional police forces that we

:06:50. > :06:54.needed. We had a uniquely bad winter last year and we had to
:06:54. > :06:58.respond to that. It is clear that in terms of getting traffic of
:06:58. > :07:03.motorways, there is more we can do. We have now got a situation where
:07:03. > :07:08.we can get the central reservation open, or put HGVs onto the hard

:10:37. > :10:41.an upholsterer. Two of the couriers were Andrew Burns and Robert
:10:41. > :10:45.Dalrymple. They were each found in possession of two kilos of cocaine
:10:45. > :10:48.worth �200,000 on the street. If that amount was smuggled on every
:10:48. > :10:53.trip, the vast scale of the operation can start to be

:13:47. > :13:51.present time. Julie Peacock has been looking into the story.
:13:51. > :13:55.It is bizarre. And it has been fuelled by the Internet. It has
:13:55. > :14:01.turned into something of an abduction scare story. We are
:14:01. > :14:05.hearing that there are hundreds of postings on social media websites.

:22:58. > :23:01.Scotland's rugby players have arrived in New Zealand. That is
:23:01. > :23:05.where they will play their opening group match against Romania. They
:23:05. > :23:10.were given quite a welcome. There were plenty of locals with Scottish
:23:10. > :23:16.raids by the looks of things. There was a pipe band, and even an man
:23:16. > :23:21.with a big novelty... Best of all, there was a traditional Maori hakka.
:23:21. > :23:25.I do not know if that was a welcome more a warning, but one kilted Kiwi

:23:41. > :23:48.the Games ahead against Georgia, Argentina. That is the sport. I'm
:23:48. > :23:53.sure we will see plenty more hakkas as the World Cup continues.
:23:53. > :23:56.Just before we go to the weather, a reminder that Fergus Muirhead is
:23:56. > :24:02.back with us in two weeks, and he will be taking another look at how

:24:12. > :24:20.available and which is best? Send available and which is best? Send
:24:20. > :24:25.Let's take a look at the weather. We had some bright spells today,
:24:25. > :24:28.but there were also plenty of showers. If we look at the radar
:24:28. > :24:32.from earlier we can see those shares are centred on the west, and
:24:32. > :24:37.some were quite heavy. Three this evening and overnight we will keep
:24:37. > :24:42.the shares in many places, but the wind will gradually ease it. We
:24:42. > :24:47.keep showers in the West, but they will gradually ease off a fraction
:24:47. > :24:54.as we head overnight. Drier towards the east, there will see some clear
:24:54. > :24:59.spells developing here. Overnight, the wind will ease, lows dipping
:24:59. > :25:03.down to about nine degrees Celsius. There will be some clear spots
:25:04. > :25:08.where they go as low as five degrees Celsius. A bright start in
:25:08. > :25:15.the ease tomorrow, the West keeping the showers. But they will be less
:25:15. > :25:20.frequent and light at are the ones we saw today. Similar temperatures
:25:20. > :25:23.to today, highs of 15 or 16 degrees Celsius across the country, but the
:25:23. > :25:28.winds will be light so it will feel warmer. In the North East is very
:25:28. > :25:33.well see the best of the brightness. Temperatures of around 17 or 18
:25:33. > :25:38.degrees Celsius, it cooler in the final at. Into tomorrow evening, we
:25:38. > :25:43.will see a bit of that change. This band of rain pushes into the
:25:43. > :25:47.country and will cover all parts overnight. Low-pressure is pushing
:25:47. > :25:52.in across the country. That really set us up for Friday, of which is
:25:52. > :25:56.looking like a fairly wet days. Certainly a wet start across the
:25:56. > :26:01.whole country. That rain will continue moving northwards as we go
:26:01. > :26:05.through that day. There will also be some warmer weather coming in,
:26:05. > :26:09.it will be a little cloudy but highs of around 20 degrees Celsius.
:26:09. > :26:13.I am already thinking about the weekend. We will have low-pressure
:26:13. > :26:18.swelling around, so it is looking like it will be quite unsettled -
:26:18. > :26:27.wet and windy, with longer spells of rain. It is generally looking a
:26:27. > :26:29.bit miserable! Scotland's police forces are
:26:29. > :26:33.speeders and it had merged into their national force. Alex Salmond

:26:46. > :26:50.Some of Britain's most influential economists have called for the 50 p
:26:50. > :26:54.tax rate to be scrapped. They say it is doing lasting damage to the
:26:54. > :26:57.economy and putting off people thinking of investing in Britain.
:26:57. > :27:01.The Chancellor says that tax is only temporary.
:27:01. > :27:05.The Scottish Government is urging organisations and individuals do
